چکیده
A lungworm of the genus Rhabdias (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae) was recovered from Scinax staufferi (Anura: Hylidae) collected in Guadalupe Victoria Mapastepec, Chiapas, Mexico (15°28’28”N, 92°53’26”W, 102 m). Morphology of the nematode is briefl y described and compared with other species of the genus, and mainly with parasites of hylids in the Neotropical Realm. This study represents the fi rst record of a species of Rhabdias species parasitizing S. staufferi, and also constitutes the fi rst record of a nematode parasite of hylid frogs in Chiapas State, Mexico.
